If it's a Ada 2005/2012 incompatibility as Dmitry suggests you can try throwing "pragma Ada_2005;" as the first-line in the body. And, if you're using GNAT, you can use different Ada versions for the spec and body... which means you can add the pre/post condition aspects [and an Ada_2012 pragma] to the spec and keep your working Ada 2005 (or 95, or possibly 83*) and add the appropriate pragma.

* Ada 83 doesn't allow child-packages to be with/used, this can be alleviated by creating a library-level rename and using that.
